Default D/FW Engine Shop Recommendation

Can anyone recommend a D/FW area engine/Machine Shop to machine a stock LS1 block for a 383 Rotating Assembly and assemble the short block? Guesstimate on costs if I bring all the parts?

Thanks,
Charlie

I have used a couple of these shops and I have to say I was impressed with Max and the whole team over at Long Race Engines. They seemed to be well knowledged about LS engines and their capabilities. Just my 2cents
